Chapter 324: The Shameless Second Aunt
Once Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei came back, everyone was finally present.
Gu Yinfeng couldn't keep her mouth shut. When she saw Bai Mei, she looked her up and down, comparing her with Li Jingjing beside her. She said tartly, "Oh, Ting Huai, is this your girlfriend? She's very pretty. I heard she's a nurse? From the city, right?"
In fact, she had just inquired about it. Gu Tinghuai's girlfriend was from the neighboring Fangen Brigade and was not from the city.
Gu Tinghuai said calmly, "Yes, my girlfriend is Bai Mei, from the Fangen Brigade. I am quite satisfied with her."
He liked Bai Mei, not because of her job as a nurse, nor because of anything else, but just because of a feeling, a passion, and the courage to move forward for her. That was enough.
Bai Mei's originally reserved mood eased greatly when she heard the words of protection in Gu Tinghuai's voice.
She smiled and nodded to Gu Yinfeng, then sat down next to Gu Yuehuai with Gu Tinghuai.
On the table were plates of dumplings and pots of fragrant dishes. She had never seen such a large New Year's Eve meal before. Thinking of the sweet potatoes at home and her parents' sarcasm towards Gu Tinghuai, Bai Mei pursed her lips.
After hearing Gu Tinghuai's words, Li Jingjing rarely raised her head and looked over.
However, after just a glance, she lowered her head again, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Yinfeng curled her lips and stared at Bai Mei with some anger.
She really felt a little unbalanced in her heart. No matter whether it was Gu Yuehuai or Bai Mei, they were both authentic country women, but they both looked good. That was fine, they also had a good job!
Alas, her Jingjing is inferior to her in every way. In fact, she is just a city dweller.
Thinking of this, Gu Yinfeng raised her chin slightly again. These days, those who have grain purchasing books are superior to others. They have a ration of grain every month, which is better than the country people who have to dig for food in the soil and live on work points.
At the very least, if the young people are given a choice, they will definitely choose the city dwellers who have a grain purchasing certificate. This is much better than just being good-looking!
Gu Yinfeng comforted herself in her heart and finally swallowed the sourness in her throat.
As the host, Gu Zhifeng raised his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, start eating. It will soon get cold."
Everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief and started to pick up their chopsticks. Wan Qinglan, Yao Meili, and Yan Shaoli all sat there in silence. The arrival of Gu Yinfeng and the others was beyond their expectations, and the atmosphere naturally became awkward with the addition of a few strangers.
However, Gu Yinfeng did not feel that she came at an inappropriate time. She ate a dumpling in one bite and picked up the twice-cooked pork with chopsticks. Not only was her mouth full of oil, but she also called out to her husband and daughter to eat quickly, fearing that others would eat first.
Gu Yuehuai raised her eyes and saw that her behavior did not look like that of a "landlord's daughter" at all.
The adopted children received the same education in the Gu family and all went to school. Their food, clothing and other living expenses were not the best, but at least they were much better than those of peasant families.
Looking back now, it does seem a bit ironic.
Gu Zhifeng had no appetite today. He looked at Gu Yinfeng from time to time as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Although he valued the relationship between brothers and sisters, he also knew that among the four of them, he had now become the least noticeable one.
My second sister, Gu Yinfeng, has always loved to take advantage of small things and would not do anything without benefits. She probably came here with no good intentions today.
She didn't say anything, so he felt very uneasy.
After a moment, Gu Zhifeng noticed Gu Yuehuai's eyes, and looked at Gu Yinfeng who was in her sight. Seeing her mouth full and oil stains dripping from the corners of her mouth, the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
Originally he didn't think much of it, but after taking a closer look, he really lost his appetite.
Sure enough, Wang Ziyan and others who were sitting next to Gu Yuehuai did not cross the line with their chopsticks and only picked up the dishes in front of them to eat.
Gu Zhifeng's temples swelled, she put down her chopsticks and called out, "Second sister."
Gu Yinfeng was wolfing down her food. When she heard the sound, she took the time to look at Gu Zhifeng. "Eh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly! You know what, Nannan is quite good at cooking. The dumpling stuffing is really tasty. Nannan, when your aunt goes back later, make another pot of stuffing. I'll take it back and make dumplings for them tomorrow!"
She was totally unaware of how ugly her attitude was, and instead made a request.
"Cough cough cough——" Wan Qinglan couldn't help it and almost spit out the dumplings in his mouth.
She looked at Gu Yinfeng in disbelief, then side-glanced at Gu Yuehuai who was sitting next to her, and blinked, the meaning was very clear: No, what kind of relationship is this relative of yours? How can he be so shameless?
The only sound left at the originally quiet dinner table was Wan Qinglan's cough. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said rather shamefully, "No, sorry, I choked because I ate too fast."
Her explanation seemed to be trying to cover up the truth.
Gu Yinfeng glanced at her unhappily and muttered, "So impatient."
Li Xiaohua also felt that Gu Yinfeng's mention of dumpling fillings was too abrupt. He felt embarrassed to ask for it in front of such a group of young people he didn't know. He couldn't help but pull Gu Yinfeng's clothes and tell her to stop gossiping.
Gu Yinfeng pushed him away and said disdainfully, "What are you doing! Don't move, I'll take another piece of meat with my chopsticks."
She stuffed the meat into her mouth and said again: "How about it, Nannan? If you are full, go and chop the stuffing now, otherwise it will be too late and you have to come back on time. I am praising you for the delicious stuffing you mixed!"
"Pfft——" Wang Ziyan couldn't help it anymore and quickly took a sip of water to cover it up.
They made noises one after another, interrupting Gu Yinfeng's words, making the latter very unhappy. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard Li Jingjing, who had been quiet since entering the room, say, "Mom, stop talking and eat quietly."
Li Jingjing has a quiet personality. Perhaps because she doesn't talk often, even her voice is a little hoarse.
Gu Yinfeng curled her lips, not taking it seriously, and did not listen to Li Jingjing's words. She said to herself, "Today is New Year's Eve, we have to chat more. It's New Year's Eve, Nannan, you have to show respect to your second aunt."
Gu Tinghuai originally didn't want to cause trouble in front of Bai Mei, but after hearing what Gu Yinfeng said, he was still a little angry.
He frowned and was about to refuse, but then he saw Gu Yuehuai sigh lightly and put down his chopsticks.
He stopped talking immediately, while Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yinfeng. His voice was clear and had an inexplicable chill: "Second aunt, there are so many of us eating dumplings. Guess how much stuffing I used?"
After that, she smiled again and said softly, "A few pounds of pork, a few pounds of celery, plus various seasonings. For the sake of our relationship, you just need to give me five dollars. It's not much, right? If you are willing to pay this price, I am not afraid of the trouble. Since you are my second aunt, I will not ask you for the cooking fee, okay?"
